BRIEF HISTORY

In the beginning, sisters started in the Municipal Hospital at the request of the Municipal authorities.

The sisters felt the need of the hour to have our own Hospital to give better care for the poor and suffering humanity. Therefore the foundation for our own hospital was laid on 29th April 1923 the day on which Theresa of Child Jesus, was beautified in Rome. As a Mother and Child Clinic, we are popularly known as ‘ Gosha Hospital’

Hospital was well known for maternity and Obs, also medical, Surgical and pediatric cases.  As for the need of the hour, sisters took up various departments like Physiotherapy, training of Nursing Aids Counseling for HIV Aids patients and medical camps etc As the HIV patients numbers were increasing there was necessity to have a separate HIV aids centre, thus Care & Support Centre Shanthi Nikethan’ was extension from St. Theresa’s General Hospital in the year 22.01.2008 Sr. Martin Maliekal and Sr.Augustine Peters were pioneers for this extension.
